altRx

+Advertised compounded GLP-1 pricing ($89/mo semaglutide, $149/mo tirzepatide) is near the bottom of the market, with no separate membership fee
+Names its four fulfilling pharmacies (RedRock, Health Warehouse, Precision Medicine, Triad Rx) on its site
+Offers branded Wegovy, Zepbound and Ozempic prescriptions alongside compounded options
−Received an FDA warning letter (June 8, 2026) over labeling that misidentified the compounder and 'clinically proven' claims implying FDA approval
−Roughly 73-78% of Trustpilot reviews are one-star, citing undelivered refills, refused refunds, and unanswered phones and email
−Trustpilot has removed reviews on its profile for guideline breaches

Lemonaid Health

+Broad national telehealth generalist spanning sexual health, weight loss, hair loss, mental health, women's health and primary care under one account.
+Low-friction ED pricing: a single $25 consult covers up to 12 refills, with generic medication priced from $2/pill.
+More than a decade of operating history (founded 2013) with an established patient base and four regional medical groups providing licensed physician coverage.
−Ownership in flux: 23andMe acquired Lemonaid for roughly $400M in 2021, then filed for bankruptcy in 2025 and sold it to nonprofit TTAM Research Institute for approximately $10M — patients have no visibility into whether care continuity, medical staffing, or data handling changed under the new owner.
−Full pricing for most services beyond the advertised ED and GLP-1 offers is not published and only appears after intake.
−Trustpilot reviews cite inconsistent provider conduct, including reports of rude or dismissive clinicians and at least one unexplained prescription refusal for a long-term patient.
